I'd like to setup a small mirror of 2.0, 2.1 and testing, basically I'd keep
the most recent kernel and about the five previous patches. Has anyone got
a script to do this. It would even be possible to download just the patch
and apply it to get the latest tarball.

If not I suppose it is a case of Perl and latest-is-2.1.X :-)

Cheers

Adrian
